If there is one thing to know about me, it's that my purse is always full of snacks. Snacks for me, my husband, anyone I'm with, anyone I walk by - you never know when you're going to need some food and being hungry while out and trying to enjoy your day or get stuff done is not fun! Especially when you have food restrictions, eating on the go can be complicated that's why I always keep a stash of snacks in my purse.
One thing I get asked most often as a health coach is about what snacks are best on the go, for busy days when you're not at home or just need something quick and nutritious, so I wanted to share some of my personal favorites! There are so many products I love (and so many I haven't tried yet) but I'll just share a few to start - I am sure this blog will have a part 2 soon.
All of these products are gluten, dairy and soy free!
Aloha Bars - If you have followed me on instagram for more than a few days, I am sure I have posted about Aloha protein bars in that time. I am IN LOVE! What I love about these is that not only do they taste GREAT but the ingredients are awesome, they're non-GMO & a certified B Corp and best of all I feel good after I eat them. Now the hard part, I cannot pick a favorite flavor - honestly, there isn't a flavor that I don't like. I love all of the chocolate covered ones (Chocolate Mint tastes like a Girl Scout cookie) and I love the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip for something light with a little less chocolate. But right now my favorite summer flavor is White Chocolate Raspberry - it's fruity, fresh and delicious. They also have a mini size that is great for a little mid morning/afternoon snacks or to add to lunch!
Aloha Drinks - Can you tell I just love the brand Aloha? The pre-made drinks are another great product on the go. There are so many great flavors with 20g of protein. My personal favorite is the Chocolate, I haven't tried the Iced Coffee flavor but that is next on my list!

Vega Protein - Continuing with the protein drinks - Vanilla Vega Made Simple has been my go to protein for years! I love that I can quickly mix it with water or a dairy free milk and head out to door or around the house. It is also the only protein I will use in smoothies - it add so much flavor without a weird texture and has 15g of protein. When I travel to hotels instead of bringing a shaker bottle, I bring a hand held frother to mix in a cup, SO much easier to clean! I have tried every flavor and like them all. The Carmel Toffee is so good mixed with coffee & oat milk but vanilla is my go to!
This is the frother I use or a blender bottle is great
Nuts or Homemade trail mix - I love to have small bags of mixed nuts on hand and in my purse. It's a quick snack with protein and healthy fats, great to pair with fruit or have on their own.
Wonderful Pistachios - Roasted & Salted - these are my favorite! Simple ingredients and when you do the math out, one bag is usually less expensive than protein bars!
PLANTERS NUT-rition Heart Healthy Mix - my second favorite, I like the variety!
88 Acres Bars - Nuts are great but sometimes I want nut free options incase I'm around people who have allergies or in a busy area when people might have an allergy! So these are a great option if you work in an office or school or to send with your kids to school. They have so many great flavors and other products in addition to bars - they're non GMO, made in a nut free facility and it's a small business! I LOVE the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt and my husband loves the Cinnamon Maple.
Noka - Last one for now, Noka pouches are AMAZING! Perfect on the go or at home - I love that it is a ready to go snack that is packed with nutrients and delicious. This is another product that I cannot pick a favorite flavor of! They have options for Immune Support, Probiotics and nut butter varieties too. If you're not sure where to start, I would go for the variety pack!
Side note - I love to keep my snacks in my purse in a Stasher Bag so they don't move around too much!
That's all for now but like I said, I'm sure there will be a part 2 because I have so many more favorites! Thanks for supporting a small business by shopping through my affiliate links😊
